The beloved ladies of Sex and the City returned with the first two episodes of the ‘next chapter,’ a 10-episode series dubbed And Just Like That… which kicked off with quite the shocking death.
As DailyMail.com exclusively reported in August, it was revealed at the end of the premiere that Mr. Big (Chris Noth) died of a sudden heart attack, shortly after exercising on a Peloton bike.
Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a cardiologist and a member of Peloton’s Health & Wellness Advisory Council, issued a statement that shed more light on Mr. Big’s untimely demise, which was likely staved off for some time by his Peloton usage.

Staved off: Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a cardiologist and a member of Peloton’s Health & Wellness Advisory Council, issued a statement that shed more light on Mr. Big’s untimely demise, which was likely staved off for some time by his Peloton usage
The premiere episode frequently featured Mr. Big referencing his favorite Peloton instructor, Allegra, and towards the end of the episode, he gets a ride in, while his beloved wife Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) attends the piano recital for Charlotte’s (Kristin Davis) daughter.
After his workout, Big is seen heading to the shower, when suddenly he clutches his shoulder and collapses, as Carrie states in voice over, ‘And just like that Big died.’
Steinbaum, who is a big Sex and the City fan herself, was saddened to learn of Mr. Big’s passing, and elaborated on what likely caused his heart attack in a statement.

‘I’m sure SATC fans, like me, are saddened by the news that Mr. Big dies of a heart attack,’ Steinbaum began in her statement to US Weekly.
‘Mr. Big lived what many would call an extravagant lifestyle — including cocktails, cigars, and big steaks — and was at serious risk as he had a previous cardiac event in Season 6,’ she continued.
‘These lifestyle choices and perhaps even his family history, which often is a significant factor, were the likely cause of his death. Riding his Peloton bike may have even helped delay his cardiac event,’ she added.

Steinbaum also revealed that, ‘more than 80 percent of all cardiac-related deaths are preventable’ by changing one’s lifestyle, diet and exercise.
‘While 25 percent of heart attacks each year are in patients who already had one (like Mr. Big), even then they are very, very treatable,’ she continued.
‘It’s always important to talk to your doctor, get tested, and have a healthy prevention strategy. The good news is Peloton helps you track heart rate while you ride, so you can do it safely,’ she said.

Mr. Big’s death was met with mixed reactions on social media, with some, like @cathrynsetz,’ hinting they may have, ‘just tanked Peloton, in the very first episode!’
Others were more distraught, with @helcnsharpe adding, ‘I will never recover I’m being so serious.’
Another fan, @zourkandy, stated that the writers ‘disrespected’ fans by having Carrie ‘chasing that love, and once she has that, she loses it again?!’
